A small private Catholic college is changing its name as it undergoes a major expansion.

Marian College President Daniel J. Elsener said the 70-year-old school will become The Marian University.

The name change coincides with a $100 million plan to expand the school’s campus on Indianapolis’ northwest side.

Elsener wants to build a new residence hall and athletic facilities, including a stadium for the football team, which now plays its games at a high school.

He said new programs will train students in the ministry, premed, business and social work.

The name change will be phased in over the next 18 months.
